For 17+ years, the #IowaSmokefreeAirAct has protected most Iowans from secondhand smoke. Now lawmakers are proposing a loophole that weakens those protections. With cancer rates rising, we need to strengthen—not weaken—this law. Take action: act.fightcancer.org/a/smokefreeiowa

One big LOSS for cancer policy in #Iowa! The House Commerce Committee did NOT have enough votes to support a bill that would remove the casino exemption from Iowa’s #SmokefreeAir Act. We have 10 days to show members that Iowans support smoke-free casinos: act.fightcancer.org/a/iowasmokefree

One big WIN for cancer policy in #Iowa! 🎗️Funding for pediatric #CancerResearch at the @uiowa has passed out of the House Higher Education Committee! This investment is a vital step toward better treatments and brighter futures for Iowa kids and families.

This #WorldCancerDay we honor those impacted by cancer—and we need lawmakers to hear YOUR voice. Share your story today: act.fightcancer.org/a/yourcancerst… #ACSCAN #FightCancer #IowaLegislature

A bill to add casinos to Iowa’s #SmokeFreeAir Act is moving NOW. The Senate stalled their version, but the House Commerce Committee votes TODAY! Tell your representative: Vote YES on smoke‑free casinos: act.fightcancer.org/a/iowasmokefree Thank you for standing with Iowa workers!

Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years, thanks to advocates like you! Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you ❤️
